Training in Wu Family Village nearly killed me! At the Zenin Family estate.
Maki had once again been beaten to her knees by the phantom before her.
She slammed a fist against the floor in frustration. She had trained for so long, yet facing the phantom still felt like Old Man Toys with a Child.
And she was the child.
"Jie Jian, how did you train? Is there some shortcut?"
The phantom before her needed someone to control it, so Maki knew Jie Jian was awake.
At her question, Jie Jian waved a modest hand.
"What shortcut? I got here through sweat and hard work."
"Sweat and hard work..." Maki sighed helplessly.
She knew there were no shortcuts in training.
But the Culling Game was right around the corner. She had no time to take things slowly.
Seeing her worry, Jie Jian said casually:
"What are you afraid of? Worst case, I'll possess you and fight for you. That's what I came here for anyway. You can always train after the Culling Game ends."
Maki hated the idea. Deep down, she wanted to win her own battles.
But she had no better option right now. When the time came, she might have to let Jie Jian use "Domain Expansion: Ghost Possession."
"Fine... If I need help then, I'll have to count on you. Anyway, it's about time."
With a sigh, Maki got up to end the day's training.
She could not spend all her strength in the training room. She needed to recover before taking part in the Culling Game.
As head of the family, Maki no longer had to clean up herself.
She told Lantai, who was standing outside the door, to tidy the dojo, then went off to enjoy a rest.
In the lounge, Maki could not stop
